ROPA Method: In recent years, advances in reproductive medicine have opened new possibilities for families of all kinds. Today, assisted reproduction offers not only solutions to infertility but also inclusive options for same-sex couples who dream of becoming parents together.

One of the most innovative techniques is the ROPA Method (Reception of Oocytes from Partner), designed so that both women in a couple can actively participate in the conception and pregnancy process.

At Crealin Fertility Clinic, located at the Texas–Mexico border, we combine evidence-based medical care, cutting-edge technology, and an open-minded approach to help you start your family.

What is the ROPA Method?

The ROPA Method stands for Reception of Oocytes from Partner. In this process, one woman provides the eggs (oocytes) and therefore her genetic material, while the other woman carries the pregnancy in her uterus.

This means both partners play an essential role:

• The genetic mother contributes her DNA.
• The gestational mother nurtures and gives birth to the baby.

For many couples, this method has deep emotional significance. It allows both women to be equally involved—one at the biological level, the other through the unique experience of pregnancy and childbirth.

Step-by-Step Process of the ROPA Method

1. Initial Consultation & Medical Assessment
   Both partners undergo fertility testing to determine who has the best ovarian reserve for egg retrieval and who is most suitable for carrying the pregnancy.
2. Ovarian Stimulation
   The genetic mother receives hormonal medication to stimulate multiple egg production under close medical supervision.
3. Egg Retrieval
   Mature eggs are collected through a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure under light sedation.
4. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
   The eggs are fertilized in our lab with carefully screened donor sperm.
5. Embryo Culture & Selection
   Embryos develop in specialized incubators. We select the healthiest embryos, and if needed, perform Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) to screen for chromosomal or genetic conditions.
6. Embryo Transfer
   The selected embryo(s) are transferred into the gestational mother’s uterus in a painless, anesthesia-free procedure.
7. Pregnancy Follow-Up
   Our fertility specialists provide ongoing support and monitoring throughout the pregnancy for optimal maternal and fetal health.

Who is the ROPA Method Best For?

The ROPA Method is ideal for:

• Lesbian couples who want to share motherhood equally.
• Women who have a healthy ovarian reserve but cannot or prefer not to carry a pregnancy.
• Couples where one partner has reduced egg quality but can safely carry a pregnancy.

This approach goes beyond fertility—it creates a unique emotional bond by sharing the biological and gestational journey.

Medical and Legal Considerations in the U.S. and Mexico

While the ROPA Method is available in several fertility clinics in Mexico, it’s essential to understand the legal framework in both countries. Laws around assisted reproduction and parental rights can vary by state.
